Buy Twilight Struggle: Red Sea PC key

Twilight Struggle: Red Sea is a two-player, card-driven strategy game set in 1974, during the Cold War. You play as either the United States or the Soviet Union, competing for influence in the Horn of Africa as leadership changes unsettle the region and bring the wider superpower struggle into focus. Your choices affect the balance of power.

Compete for influence

You pursue global policy by spreading political influence, carrying out military coups and seeking favorable political realignments. Your aim is to gain allies and become the leading worldwide superpower, while avoiding overreach: a wrong decision can trigger DEFCON One and end the game in nuclear war.

The game’s mechanics draw on historical Cold War events centered on East Africa, the Arabian Gulf and the sea lanes between them. New Flashpoint countries add tension around coup attempts and affect DEFCON.

Game modes

Play online against other players in asynchronous PvP games, with friend lists and matchmaking, or play offline against the AI. A Solo BOT provides a solitaire option. You can also integrate specific cards from Twilight Struggle to add an extra Late War turn and extend the game.
